Depression looks like:
- A room that hasn’t been cleaned in a month
- Three books you began to read but are just sitting on your bed side table, only a few chapters in
- Staring at your open laptop for ten minutes then crying
- Eating pickles on the kitchen floor
-Not eating at all
- Wearing the same thing over and over because it’s too hard to put anything else together
- Drinking so much coffee you head feels like it’s being crushed
- Using all your data mindlessly going through videos for something that will make you laugh
- Bottles, cups and wrappers scattered and not moved for weeks
- Isolating yourself because it’s too hard to talk to people
- Loosing friends
- Three weeks of homework and assignments not being done
- Feeling numb about the future
- Short bursts of happiness, that make you think maybe it’s done. Maybe I can be okay. Then it comes back, and the happiness is gone, and it’s worse because you felt it for one second and now its unreachable
- Lashing out, getting angry
- Drinking at night to make you feel human
- sleeping for 15 hours straight and feeling even more tired
- not sleeping for two days
- nightmares
- not being able to answer the question “are you okay”
- Wanting to be alone forever
- Needing someone to come and pull you out of this fucking hell hole that your brain is
- Saying you dont need help
- You need help.
